Lovely card, Vianney! It took a while to convince myself that I wanted a foil machine mainly because I didn't want to buy all those extra foiling dies on top of the cutting dies I already have. I was sold on the Gemini Foilpress when I saw a CC video where they used regular dies to foil with in addition to using the foiling dies. The fact that you have 3 different heat settings to use with different sized dies makes it almost fool-proof. If you're on the fence about getting a foiling machine, I highly recommend getting the Gemini Foilpress over the others.
Pretty card. Loving the Bust It Out videos. I'm going to bust out some patterned paper, acetate, and butterfly and border dies. Thank you for the motivation to use what we have and sharing how you are using what you have.
Awe, that’s a pretty card V. I don’t have that machine but now that I know you can use regular dies I’m rethinking having one. I love foil on cards and have used my laminating machine a few times ( long ago) on my cards. Hummmmm. Maybe a birthday present to myself this year. lol. Hugz
Thanks for the encouragement. Yes I have this foil machine and yes it is tucked away somewhere 🤣. Now that I have this reminder I’ll have to look for it and use it. If you’re taking requests I would love it if you could bust out your Brother P-Touch label maker. Thanks again for sharing!🤗🤗🤗👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
If you turned over the butterfly dies & foiled on the flat side, then when you cut the design, there will be a foiled outline of the butterfly. You would place the metal plate down first, the cutting edge facing the metal plate, pretty side of the foil facing the flat side of the die, paper then the top plate. Heat up & foil in the Gemini Jr. Then when you cut out the foiled butterfly design, you will have foiled edges.
I love what you did with the acetate. The card is really pretty. I have the same dies and I have learned a technique from Joanne Hedges (She uses a couture creations foil press )you use the back of the die. The sections to cut out are wider on the backside. There is more places for the foil to stick. so you have more foil then cut it would and it is like you foiled with a fine tip pen. This doesn't work with all dies, but it is fun to play with and I've had it work with some of butterflies you used. Flip the die to the correct side and cut out the design. Another tip is to foil on foiled paper. The colors are striking. I hope I didn't make it sound confusing. It's not.
Thanks for the tips! I was actually watching a CC show this morning and they were using the FOILPRESS, and I totally do my sandwich different! Oopsie...they heat the die with just the plate, run the timer, take the plate off then place the foil, paper, plate again. I just heat everything up all together! Ha!! Anyway, I totally followed what you were saying. (:
Am wondering (since someone always eventually manages to find a "hack" for everything, it seems!)... so, in the same way that ppl eventually managed to figure out for each machine the respective sandwiches required to cut & emboss in one pass, I'm wondering if anyone's figured out how to do that with foil press yet?? (emboss & foil in one pass, I mean)... If neither of you know... or simply haven't yet heard of anyone having worked out how to do that yet, would you think it's even remotely possible at all?? (at least in terms of the units you each have experience working with... so, for eg. this Gemini ... or the Spellbinders unit is also on my radar too, to consider as a contender to add to my crafting arsenal... so if anyone knows for that unit too (or, well, for *any* unit really, for that matter)... then it'd be really great to know, if so, please! (as I don't yet have a foil press unit myself, but am VERY tempted and am considering it... so am also trying to assess how much use I'd get out of it... how practical it is... its various potential applications & uses... etc... Otherwise, if I had one already, then I'd experiment with this myself to see whether possible or not!) Cuz, as far as my thinking goes: since silicone is known to be very heat-resistant... usually up to around 450°F or 550°F at least... which, even with you "playing hot potato" back there in the video... (while pulling it out after foiling the cerise butterfly)... lol... but even so, I'd *still* imagine that's quite a bit higher than the temperatures these units would ever get up to with foil pressing)... ...so, then, with that in mind (and in theory, at least), shouldn't it *also* be feasibly possible to perhaps add in a silicone pad layer too?? ... such as in between the foil and the carbon plate? (that is, if I'd heard you correctly in calling that the 'carbon plate), Wouldn't that provide just the right squishiness needed to achieve an embossed effect simultaneously, while already running the foil pass/process through?? Or would the resulting sandwich with the silicone layer be far too thick to get through the machine all together in one go?? I don't suppose either of you (or anyone else) feel like playing around & experimenting with this a bit, and then reporting back any successes?? (or failures either, for that matter)... that is, if you don't already know the answer to this yet?? I'd be *super* interested & curious to know whether it's feasible or doable at all!! Thanks in advanced! (regardless of whatever the reply is... whether having an answer to this already, or having previously heard anything in respect... or whether even willing to try it out to let me know your thoughts & observations!)... apologies tho, for the very lengthy comment/question as well! :S
Great card as always Girl if I were home I would have busted out with mine But will be using it when I return Thank you for the inspiration Tfs crafty hugs 🤗
Could you put list of what you used. Like you Gold shinny paper, where do you buy it? Your black ink where do you buy it? This video you said where you buy your Acetate from Crafter's Companion. This will help us beginners. By the way your Great!!! Thank you!!!
Nice video! I have the Go Press and Foil (Coture Creations) and I need to pull it out and start using it again. The butterflies turned out really pretty. I also like foiling words, especially if they have a shadow die and can be cut out easily.
You are so bad for my budget 🤣 i love the way that came out and i was wondering if you could use any dies with the foil press. Thanks for being so thorough. Awesome👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💖💖💖
Do you think we could bust out some die cuts? You know , the million we have bought from Tuesday morning? Crate paper, etc. Or the leftover AG flowers from our kits?
That's funny, I mentioned in my latest HSN haul video "Maybe I should do a bust it out on all of those die cuts we used to buy and NEVER used!" LOL! I think I also mentioned Prima flowers. (:
I wondered why you had not done any foiling. I bought the Spellbinders Glimmer foiling machine but have yet to use. Plan to soon though. Vianney, bust out any old school you feel like, even your Expression. Lol
LOL!! My dear Expressions! I do love that Cricut machine the most. Is that weird? I have a ton of Martha Stewart punches that we may need to bring into the new century!! LOL! (Ok, I probably bought them within this century...but it's been a while).
This came out beautifully Vianney but I can't say it was quicker lol. Those foiled butterflies really popped on the card. I adored the end results and crafts should take time.Blessings.
@@VianneyCreates Exactly. I enjoy watching you no matter how long it takes. Plus you want to take your time and I know how meticulous you can be when it comes to details. Blessings love
I have had several people all say "I haven't used mine yet!" LOL! That's the point of this series, I hope you will try it now. (For you, now that you have the extended plate)
If anyone has the regular Gemini and uses the extended plate on foil press...I suggest taping the plate to the platform. I cracked two platforms from the extended plate shifting.😕
Hiya, petal! I LOVE foiling! I actually have the go press and foil which I like a lot, but the foil quill actually stole my heart and I use those quite a lot. I have so many hot foil plates, but they are so expensive for me. I am thinking about getting the blush coloured minc machine when it comes out as I originally started foiling with deco foil and toner sheets and a laminator. If they are changing the foilpress, I may have to purchase it, but I hate the fact that the top plate is not attached to the machine like the go press is. Any road, blah...blah...blah...always nattering on, me! Ta so much for the video and as always...XXX
I feel like I heard them say something about the FOILPRESS...I don't know if they will be upgrading it somehow or adding more functionality. Maybe it's just a rumor! Anyway, I do love the big plates, too...and yes, they are so expensive! I only have three. (:
That's a good idea, just make lots of toppers or backgrounds and have them ready. I like the session idea, too, because you already have it fired up...might as well make good use of it!
A very pretty card. I love my CC Foil Press, but was horrified that yours was covered in dust!! Dust makes your foiling poor, as advised on CC video. All my machines are covered when not in use to prevent not only dust, Sunlight, which can fade, dry out or damage machines, spillage from drinks, or any other accidents These machines are expensive So please take care of them. It only takes seconds to cover them. (I use old cotton sheets, one sheet cut down will cover several machines).
Super nice card. Love the use of the acetate.
Thank you so much, Gale!!
Nice tutorial, pretty butterflies. I don’t have the foil press, it’s exciting to watch! Thanks for sharing 🤗
Thank you so much, Barbara!!

It is a great one! I have the Anna Griffin Minc and never use it. (:
I also have the Minc mini machine and haven't used it in over a year since I've gotten my Gemini Foilpress machine.
Looks great! I would like to see more of the foil press.
I love the way your card turned out. I have the Foilpress and really love how professional looking my cards are. Thanks for sharing.
It's a great tool, I should use it more often. (: TY!
Pretty card. Loving the Bust It Out videos. I'm going to bust out some patterned paper, acetate, and butterfly and border dies. Thank you for the motivation to use what we have and sharing how you are using what you have.
Awesome!! I hope you do try it out, I think the things you mentioned would work real well!! Thanks so much!!
So pretty!
Thank you!
Cute card, I like the acetate it's different, foil came out nice on the butterflies. I don't have foil press, don't need another machine. Tfs
I know, so many machines! Thank so much!
Great to know you can use your regular dies. thank you for showing us👏
I think it's a fun use of this machine! (:
Thank you for the lovely class 🙂 your card is so pretty, I thought of a view of spring and hope of newness coming , Have a Beautiful Blessed Day!!
I am in total Spring mode here, I can't wait for my dwarf nectarine and peach to start blooming!!
Awe, that’s a pretty card V. I don’t have that machine but now that I know you can use regular dies I’m rethinking having one. I love foil on cards and have used my laminating machine a few times ( long ago) on my cards. Hummmmm. Maybe a birthday present to myself this year. lol. Hugz
I have heard so many people say they used their laminator for foiling, that's a cool hack!

TYSM, I hope you do bring it out! It's worth a try!
Lovely card! I miss crafting so much!
TY!
Very nice maybe I will purchase it!👍😁
Thank you, it is a fun tool...just gotta bust it out more often!
Beautiful card! I really enjoy your process videos. Thanks for sharing
This was a fun one! I hope to use this thing more often!!
Yay 😃 bust it out girl.
LOL!!!

Yes, that's another method. Another gal mentioned that, sounds great.
Now that’s a quick jet so very beautiful card. You git this girl !
It was fast for the effect, right?! TY!!
Thank you ! I am thinking about buying it cause it’s on sale right now !
Great! I do love the FOILPress!
Oh I knew you had a foil press! Mine has dust on it too! Thanks for the motivation to get mine out!😇
SO dusty!! I hope to use it more, I have already made one more video for it but have lots of other ideas!
Nice spring time card! You make me almost want a foil press...thinking about it.
It's a fun tool, if you can get it around $100, that would be a good deal. (:
I don’t have this machine but this card is so pretty.
Thank so much!
Love this card. The acetate really looks great.

@@fenixdesigns I have not figured out the hack and I haven't see any hacks for that. I am afraid I'll break my heating plate. So I haven't tried.
Really pretty card. I like those D’arice card edge dies. I have not had good luck with their edgables.
Love the card. Really like the acetate idea.
Thank you! Happy to spark a little creativity!
Great card as always
Girl if I were home I would have busted out with mine
But will be using it when I return
Thank you for the inspiration
Tfs crafty hugs 🤗
Awww, that's awesome!! Thanks so much!
Pretty!
TY!!
I love the foil but not sure I'll ever get foil press. Happy pretty card, thanks for sharing 😊
TY! So many people have bought it and not used it, so that's almost the same as not ever getting one...except you saved your money!! (:

haven't used minw yet, but will now! Very helpful!
Happy to help, I hope you do try it!
Really enjoyed this video!
Thank you!!
Lovely card, Vianney! ❤️
This came out beautifully Vianney but I can't say it was quicker lol. Those foiled butterflies really popped on the card. I adored the end results and crafts should take time.Blessings.
What are you talking about, girl? LOL!! My videos are usually an hour long!! (:
It's funny bc everything is "look how fast..." but the point of making a handmade card/craft is that it took your time to do. I hear ya!
@@VianneyCreates Exactly. I enjoy watching you no matter how long it takes. Plus you want to take your time and I know how meticulous you can be when it comes to details. Blessings love
if you leave the plate connected while it's hot but not using it it will warp.
Yes! Thank you for reminding us.
I have wanted a foil press for awile hoping to get one soon, I love the card❣️
Thanks so much!! If you choose to get one, I hope you enjoy it...and actually use it! (:
Need to use mine more often
We all do!! Thanks for watching! (:
Haven't used mine yet either lol but I only have the large Gemini and just got the extended plate so I might try it soon tfs
I have had several people all say "I haven't used mine yet!" LOL! That's the point of this series, I hope you will try it now. (For you, now that you have the extended plate)
I usually die cut first, then foil. But if you want to emboss you should use your method.
TY for telling us about your experience. (:
It IS a good idea!
If anyone has the regular Gemini and uses the extended plate on foil press...I suggest taping the plate to the platform. I cracked two platforms from the extended plate shifting.😕

8/15/21 thank you for starting this video with a dusty machine 🤣🤣🤣.
Your card is beautiful but how often will I be foiling.
mine is still in the box. no time or space for it.
LOL!! I love how straight forward you are about this. (:
Very pretty Card. I don’t have the foil press, don’t really want it. Thanks!
It's a complete extra, non-essential, item...but I think it can be fun. (:
